since she is not detailing her positions beyond vague generalities, and given that there will be limited debates on inconvenient times/dates.

For instance, he can speak to his position on Social Security, and then state that while Hillary has not made her positions clear, it is safe to assume that she, like her establishment Democrat peers, support cutting benefits through means such as chained CPI, means testing, and raising the retirement age.

That would pretty much size up the truth. Then it would be on Hillary to own up to it, or to refute them all...on the record.
